Employing A Historical Perspective, John Friedmann Presents A Succinct, Readable Account And Interpretation Of How This Transition One Of The Most Momentous Phenomena In Contemporary History Has Occurred. China'S Urban Transition Synthesizes A Broad Array Of Research To Provide The First Integrated Treatment Of The Many Processes That Encompass The Multilayered Meaning Of Urbanization: Regional Policy, The Upsurge Of Rural Industries, Migration, Expanding Spheres Of Personal Autonomy, And The Governance Of City Building.

With Historical Depth, Interpretive Insight, And Interdisciplinary Breadth, This Book Offers An Unparalleled Introduction To China'S Transformation.
